I've raised a few chimps and orangs. For the first few years there is not all that much difference between them and human kids.

We never did sign language, but they were certainly able to communicate.
I would not call flinging poop communication gross

I just had a long and serious talk with my Tort friends they told me why they freak out when you put them in warm water. they said they're afraid you are going to make turtle soup out of them.

Did you tell them no one's ever heard of "tortoise" soup, to calm them down?
